This makes deployment of the technology much simpler, with reduced complexity, and allows the technology to be much more accessible for our end customers."

XipLink’s XA-Series appliances, range in scale from 2 Mbps and 50 connections for use in small office locations to redundant high performance systems operating at 155 Mbps and 30,000 simultaneous connections.
